Chapter 961 I Prove That Brandon Did It!
"I kinda overheard their chat, but I was hidden pretty well. Now, Brandon's not sure if I caught anything..."
Thessaly tried to piece together the event that happened in the afternoon as clearly and logically as possible.
She also brought up the bugging device.
"What should I do, Mr. Davis?" Thessaly felt lost. "I can't just ditch the bug, but I don't wanna lug it around all the time. If I stop using that bag, Brandon's gonna get suspicious."
"Mr. Davis, I swear, I heard it all myself. I'm not making any of this up! Brandon's definitely testing me now. If he thinks I'm a threat, he'll come after me!"
"But even if I keep playing dumb, he'll find ways to manipulate and use me."
By the end, Thessaly was in tears.
With everything she was facing, the mental and emotional pressure was just too much.
She had no one to lean on or confide in!
Thessaly had been living a stable life, playing her part, when out of the blue, she got an offer to be the spokesperson for Adoring Cupid. She thought her career was finally looking up, and she did get what she wanted... but her life spiraled into chaos, veering off a path that was never meant for her!
Now, Thessaly could only move forward, and she had to pick a side.
She wanted to side with Kelvin and Penelope. She didn't want to be in cahoots with someone like Brandon!
"Mr. Davis, I just realized that the night I had dinner with Penelope, Brandon was trying to pump me for info. I wasn't on guard and spilled everything."
"He got the restaurant and time from me, which gave him the chance to set up everything that followed... Paul is his accomplice. They're in this together!"
Thessaly's sobs were clear over the phone.
After a moment, Kelvin spoke calmly, "Are you done?"
"I've said everything I could think of. Mr. Davis... you gotta believe me. I'm not making this up, and I'm not losing my mind!"
She was desperate for Kelvin to believe her, trying hard to prove herself.
"I know," Kelvin replied. "I believe you."
Thessaly let out a long sigh of relief. "That's good, that's good."
Kelvin pressed his lips together, quickly analyzing the situation from start to finish.
Yeah, it was all Brandon's doing, orchestrated by him!
The conversation Thessaly overheard confirmed Kelvin's suspicions!
Now, it wasn't just him doubting Brandon; Thessaly had seen Brandon's true colors, too!
"I've known something was off with Brandon for a while. I've been gathering evidence," Kelvin said. "But he's been so meticulous, leaving no trace."
Thessaly immediately asked, "Can I be a witness? I can testify that he did it!"
"You can't be a witness because he hasn't made you do anything, and you have no evidence. All you have is your word."
"Then what do we do? Just let Brandon keep getting away with this?"
Kelvin paused, "Did you record anything when you were in the restroom?"
Thessaly was taken aback.
At the time, she had been completely shocked, in a daze, and it took all her energy and wits just to get away from Brandon unscathed... she hadn't thought to record anything.
"No," Thessaly shook her head. "I got nothing. I just heard it... heard it with my own ears..."
The situation seemed to hit a dead end again.
After a long pause, Kelvin's voice came through, "About that night, did you catch anything else about what Brandon did to Penelope? Did he actually do anything?"
"I told you everything I heard. Paul asked him if he messed up, but Brandon didn't admit to anything."
"From what you heard, do you think Brandon really did something to Penelope?"
Thessaly tried hard to recall.
She quickly thought back to Brandon and Paul's conversation, remembering their tones.
"Mr. Davis, Paul and I got to the hotel first. Brandon and Penelope showed up later. From Brandon's tone, he seemed frustrated. Especially when Paul asked if he got what he wanted, Brandon was clearly ticked off."
"Someone who pulled off their plan would be all smug and proud when asked by their sidekick. They'd feel like a genius for pulling it off without leaving a trace! They'd be full of themselves!"
"But Brandon was clearly embarrassed and angry... I think he didn't pull it off, but for the sake of his pride and other reasons, he had to act like he did!"
Kelvin's lips curled slightly.
He had thought the same before.
Now, the conversation Thessaly overheard confirmed it!
Penelope was safe and untouched!
He knew things hadn't gone that far!
How could Brandon have succeeded so easily? Kelvin wasn't someone to be messed with; even caught off guard, he wouldn't let Brandon succeed in one go!
"Yeah, Brandon wants to save face. He wouldn't admit to Paul that he didn't get Penelope," Kelvin said. "He might even be trying to convince himself that he succeeded, fooling himself!"
But Brandon could deceive himself, Penelope, and his accomplices, but he couldn't fool Kelvin!
"Mr. Davis, from the conversation I inadvertently witnessed, not only can we conclude that Brandon didn't do anything to Penelope, but we can also be sure that the mastermind behind all this is Brandon!"
Thessaly's biggest wish now was to rip off Brandon's mask and expose his ugliness to everyone!
Especially to Penelope... Penelope had always trusted Brandon, never saying a bad word about him!
And yet!
Brandon was the cause of all this!
Why... Brandon clearly liked Penelope. If you like someone, shouldn't you cherish, love, and protect them?
Why would he want to wreck her once peaceful and happy life?
Thessaly couldn't understand, couldn't see through it.
But as an outsider, someone who originally had nothing to do with this, she was now caught up in it.
"I know it's him. I've always been sure it's him," Kelvin replied. "But before you overheard Brandon and Paul's conversation, would you have believed me if I told you it was Brandon?"
"I... wouldn't have believed it. Because Brandon hid it so well, he didn't seem like someone with a hidden agenda."
Kelvin said coldly, "In fact, he's the most scheming of all!"
